So here I am outside King High. My new school. Confused? I guess I should back track then huh?

Well… Dad was the only one home when I got in. Cooking dinner in the kitchen like always. Trying to keep the family together.

What a laugh that is.

I love my dad, I do. But honestly, sometimes I just want to tell him mum is cheating on him to get him to snap out of the constant fake cheery tone. Is that horrible?

So anyway, he shouts me into the kitchen. “Hey dad. Are you okay?” I asked him.

He turned around to look at me. His eyes were slightly watering. “It’s your mum.” Oh god. I can’t stand her but I don’t think I want anything bad to happen to her. “She… she’s… you know Dr. Ben?” Oh god. He knows. “Well she’s been… s-seeing him. Behind my back.” I already knew. I’ve known for mouths. Can’t let him know that.

“Oh god dad. I’m so sorry. How did you find out?”

“Well, it’s kind of embarrassing really.” He drew in a deep breath. “But I know you are old enough to understand.” I simply nodded at him. “Well after you left for school, the house was quiet; mum and I haven’t been… um… together in quite a while.”

“Dad. Okay I know where this is going can we skip that part please?” I don’t want to hear about my parents’ sex life.

“Yeah sorry. Well when it started happening, um, I was going to go, well you know.” Yeah I know. “And I saw some things moving down there.” Oh. My. God. I had to hold in my laugh. “You’re mother had-”

Ok I can’t hold it anymore. “Crabs? He gave her crabs?” This is just too good.

“Yeah.” He said sadly. Sorry but I still couldn’t help but laugh. Blame it on my teenage immaturity. “Spencer this isn’t funny.” He stresses.

“Sorry dad. So… what’s going to happen?”

“I can’t afford to keep you in that school.” Oh no. “Your mum is going to be staying with a friend.” Probably means Dr. Ben. “So you and Glen are going to have to move schools.”
